Language creates awareness and reinforces stereotypes, but what if the
vocabulary is not enough to describe one’s identity? Female, male, both
or neither. It is difficult to describe in words what has long been a
reality. The traditional gender division based on one’s sex is far
outdated. However, do our language and behaviour follow this change?
This interactive dance film addresses the following questions: What
impact does language have on gender differentiation? How do certain
meanings of a word become established? And what cultural, political and
ethical influence do these have on us and our bodies?
